Marolo Barolo Grappa (750ml)

SKU #1048293

Paolo Marolo is widely regarded as one of the best grappa producers in the world. He is credited for being a leading innovator in Alba, the heartland of grappa production, for departing from the tradition of working with a continuous still (used for efficiency in mass production), and choosing instead to work with a bain-marie discontinuous still. This alembic requires fresh pomace and distills very small quantities much more slowly, but ultimately yields a grappa that is infinitely more pure, complex, and invigorating, with many dimensions of aromas and flavor. This grappa, from 100% Barolo vernaccia, is aged four years in oak barrel, which gives it more viscosity and a richer, softer profile. The entry is slightly sweet and the flavors are similar to a fine Cognac or Armagnac. This is one of the better grappas we've ever tasted and we are excited to have it available.

Italy

- Once named Enotria for its abundant vineyards, Italy (thanks to the ancient Greeks and Romans) has had an enormous impact on the wine world. From the shores of Italy, the Romans brought grapes and their winemaking techniques to North Africa, Spain and Portugal, Germany, France, the Danube Valley, the Middle East and even England. Modern Italy, which didn't actually exist as a country until the 1870s, once produced mainly simple, everyday wine. It wasn't until the 1970s that Italy began the change toward quality. The 1980s showed incredible efforts and a lot of experimentation. The 1990s marked the real jump in consistent quality, including excellence in many Region that had been indistinct for ages. The entire Italian peninsula is seeing a winemaking revolution and is now one of the most exciting wine Region in the world. For our entire Italian wine selection, click here.
